The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@Jolly has been pushing me to do locums work ever since I retired. Nope, nope, nope.
Yeah, but you're a doctor, dammit! There is no such thing as a retired doctor, just one that no longer practices.
I'm just a peon. You have transferrable skills that are still valid in today's world, that could make a huge difference. Rust can be polished off, if the mind is still good and there is no doubt that you're still sharp as a tack.
Locum tenens work, as much or as little as you wish. if you want to dust off some old skills, there are always medical missions or free clinics. You can do this.
Help me to help you.

Like 89th said, it sounds like you gave the offer a good think-through, and you know your limitations.
Your friend from the funeral gave you a gift, though -- a lovely and important compliment that you can bask in as you relax on your porch -- one that will never lose its shine if you don't let it.
Not for nuttin, it sounds like the job she dangled needs a team rather than one person.

I’m always willing to consider part time opportunity if one would be enjoyable, but I have never in my career received so many contract solicitations. All full time. No thanks.
Don’t need the money but keeping my hand in or earning some new tech could be fun.

Teams just don't work, I've seen them tried. It takes a benevolent dictator.
You're also the buffer between the pathologists and much of the hospital staff. The point man for a lot of crap. Or, as one of my mentors told me long ago, "If you're not getting your ass chewed on at least once a week, you're not doing your job".
